~ Insider Exclusive: Interview with Tara Toshi and Julian King from One Shot ~

Welcome
to my exclusive interview with the “it” couple of Las Vegas, corporate tycoon
Julian King, owner of the Palace Hotel and Casino, and his beautiful fiancée Tara
Toshi! This busy couple has been extremely difficult to track down, but have no
fear dear readers, this interviewer got them to sit down to answer a few
questions about their unique courtship and upcoming nuptials.

Interviewer:
Mr. King, Ms. Toshi, thank you so much for taking the time to sit down with me
for this interview today.

Tara
Toshi: Like this guy gave me any choice?

Julian
King: *laughs* Thank you for having us. And please call us Julian and Tara.

Interviewer:
Thank you. Tara, my first question is for you. Your fiancé has been one of
America’s most eligible bachelors for several years running. Can you tell our
audience how you captured his heart?

Tara
Toshi: Oh geez… *sigh* I came out to Las Vegas with my team to work on
upgrading the Palace Hotel and Casino’s security system. Julian and I met and
things just sort of…happened. Trust me when I say this wasn’t planned. And I
didn’t capture anything…he wore me down.

Julian
King: Very true. All it took was one look and I knew that Tara was the woman
that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

Interviewer:
That is lovely. Tara, as a security consultant for Mac Securities you often
find yourself working with high profiled clients, correct? In fact the owner of
the company, Jason MacBain, is also a very power man. What made Julian stand
out for you?

Tara
Toshi: Is that really your question?

Julian
King: Darling…

Tara
Toshi: Fine, I’ll behave. Yes, Jason is a pretty powerful guy, but he is also a
close friend. His wife, Bella, is also one of my best friends. In fact, all the
men and women I work with have pretty strong personalities but we are a really
tight crew. I guess you could say we all have Alpha tendencies. When I’m on a
job I guess I don’t really think about who I’m working for….I just do the work,
but this time…this time was different. Julian got to me.

Julian
King: I certainly did my best.

Interviewer:
But surely the fact that Julian is one of the wealthiest men in America has
affected your relationship?

Tara
Toshi:Not really. It takes more than
money and power to get my attention. Actually, his wealth and his prominence in
the media were two strikes against him.I don’t really care what people think. Julian and I have a strong
relationship and that’s what is important. And the truth of the matter is I’m
not marrying him for his money, I’m marrying him for the sex.

Julian
King: And I shall endeavor to keep you happy in that area.

Tara
Toshi: Damn right you will. *sigh* Listen, I had a crappy childhood and I has
some bad shit happen to me over the years – don’t ask because it’s classified
and I wouldn’t tell you about it anyways. The important thing is; I survived.
More than that, I made something out of my life and it lead me here to Julian
and the life we have together. I’d go through all of it, do it all over again
to have what I have with him.

Julian
King: Now can you see why I love her? She is a miracle.

Tara
Toshi: Okay, we need to stop with the sap…I have a reputation to protect.

Interviewer:
Julian, what was it about Tara that first caught your attention?

Julian
King: *laughs* In one word, everything. The first time I saw her I was
entranced. As I got to know her, I was even more so. Sure, she is a pain in the
ass sometimes –

Tara
Toshi: Back at ya, Ace.

Julian
King: But as I learned every facet of her personality it just made me love her
more. Neither of us are perfect by any means…but we are perfect for each other.

Interviewer:
Tara, as a former agent with the FBI you would have an interesting perspective
on the recent activity here in Las Vegas. There have been rumors that both of
you were involved in helping to end the recent terrorist threat. Is that true?

Tara
Toshi: No comment.

Julian
King: It is a shame that we deal with these types of threats all over the
world. I am just glad that the perpetrators were caught and the city is safe.

Interviewer:
Tara, there have been leaks that you were integral in the takedown of the
terrorists. Would you care to set the record straight?

Tara
Toshi: No. Comment.

Interviewer:
Julian, do you worry about your fiancée’s choice of profession? There have been
rumors that Tara will be leaving the security field and coming to work full
time at the casino.

Julian
King: Of course I worry, I love her but this is part of who she is and I love
everything about her. I have plans in the works to build a new Palace Hotel in
Chicago where Mac Securities is based. Tara and I plan to spend some time
there, making it easier for her to continue to work and consult with them. She
also plans to take over part of our security at our hotel in Vegas.

Interviewer:
So, do you have a date for the wedding and can you give us any details?

Tara Toshi:
Oh my god…

Julian
King: *chuckles* We do have a date, and no we are not going to share it with you.
Most of the planning will be taken care of by our wedding coordinator. Tara
isn’t exactly the wedding planning type.

Tara
Toshi: Boy, is that an understatement…Sorry, we have to cut this short. I have
a flight to catch.

Julian
King: We…we have a flight to catch.

Interviewer:
Is this a personal or business trip?

Tara
Toshi: Both...
